Default How does Out of office work?

Can I ask, when I enable out of office feature, will it only automatically
reply to email that only addressed to me? What if I'm in a
group/distribution list, will it also reply to those email which address to
the group as well?

Default How does Out of office work?

Without knowing what version of Exchange is being used, I will go out on a
limb and say No and Yes respectively to the questions. Please be advised
that the version of Exchange server being used plus configuration can
influence this answer since it is the server doing the work and not your
e-mail client. To give you an idea of what I mean...

1) Exchange can be configured to stop out of office messages from reaching
the internet. (This is the default)

2) Windows/Exchange 2003 has an option to not let out of office
notifications go back when items are address to the distribution list.
(Default configuration is out of office notifications is off by default.)

I'm using Exchange 2000, does this mean it won't let the notification go
back to distribution list by default? and only notify user when email
addressed to me?

I'm not familiar with Exchange 2000, so I'm checking in with the Exchange
MVPs to see if I can get an answer for you.
